    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge of making sure everyone follows the rules for trading things want to know if they should change how they handle requests for new rules, asking everyone what they think about this and giving them time until March 3, 2025, to share their ideas. They want to be sure everything is fair, but they don't tell us how they'll decide what ideas are best, and they remind people not to tell any secrets when sharing their thoughts.

  • 2024-29059 — Removal of Racial and Ethnic Presumptions in Response to Court Ruling
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 101466
    Reading Time:about 6 minutes

    The Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) has updated its regulations to remove racial and ethnic presumptions for determining eligibility for its programs. This change was made to comply with a court ruling that declared such presumptions unconstitutional, as they were previously outlined in the Minority Business Development Act of 2021. The court's decision requires the MBDA to amend parts of its regulations, making eligibility determinations based on actual social or economic disadvantage without relying on racial or ethnic classifications. These updates aim to clarify and modify the criteria for accessing MBDA's assistance programs.

    Simple Explanation

    The Minority Business Development Agency is changing its rules so they don't use race or ethnicity to decide who gets help. They're doing this because a court said the old way was not fair, so now they want to use other ways to decide who needs help.

  • 2021-02837 — Loans of Library Materials for Blind and Other Print-Disabled Persons
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 9289
    Reading Time:about 6 minutes

    The Library of Congress has updated its rules regarding lending library materials to people who are blind or have other print disabilities. These changes, based on the Library of Congress Technical Corrections Act of 2019, modify the language used, descriptions of services offered, and eligibility certification requirements. The new rules also allow for a broader range of professionals—beyond medical doctors—to certify individuals' eligibility for these services. The aim is to provide easier access to materials, including those available electronically, and to ensure that institutions like schools and nursing homes can offer these resources to eligible individuals.

    Simple Explanation

    The Library of Congress updated its rules to make it easier for people who can't read regular books, like those who are blind, to borrow books and other stuff, even using computers. Now, more types of people can say someone is eligible to use these services, not just doctors.
